Nakusha to me has been a practicer of this philosophy throughout her life. Right from her basti days, even when she was attacked by people there, she did not retaliate with violence, she either smiled it off and took any insult she faced and remained unfazed.
When Morey attacked, then again she was not the one to retaliate, Babi did for her, with violence, but she could not get herself to being violent.
Then came Dutta Patil, the one man who brought light into her life, but yet completely different ideology. Dutta's life is violence, he believes in fighting fire with fire and it reflects in his actions personally and professionally. The first marriage - violent repucussions; what did Naku do? She did not retaliate and fought that fire with the coolness of water, calmed him down enough with her acts to make him see reason, and she did get through.
Now this time, she is going to do the same, he is getting more and more aggressive and she will fight that with the same non-violent approach she has been taking thus far.
I was inclining to use the word Satyagraha, but it didnt quite fit, since she did go with the one lie that
has her at crossroads right now.
